Manufacturing & Spare Parts
Manufacturing operations require precision. Shelfbot handles complex kitting with scan-confirmed picking, ensuring every assembly starts with the right parts.
Key benefits:
- Complex BOM kitting
- Zero-error assembly
- Parts storage & retrieval
Case Studies:
- Shelfbot - Using our own system to kit robots with 500+ components
Common challenges
What you feel day-to-day
- • Complex multi-level BOMs requiring precise kitting
- • Assembly accuracy critical to product quality and reliability
- • Managing hundreds of SKUs (fasteners, components, assemblies)
- • Parts scattered across workshop creating travel time
- • Training time for new assembly technicians
- • Inventory visibility across active builds
What's really happening
The constraint isn't always "how fast can someone work" — it's how much time is wasted traveling, searching, and managing complexity.
When operators spend most of their shift walking between pick faces, searching for locations, or handling constant variability, throughput drops and errors increase.
Goods-to-Person removes travel time and makes each cycle consistent, predictable, and measurable.
Why Shelfbot fits
Precise kitting for complex BOMs
Scan-confirmed picking ensures correct components in every kit. Wrong parts caught before assembly, not during.
Reduced assembly travel time
Goods-to-Person eliminates technician walking time. Parts come to fixed stations instead of searching the workshop.
Better inventory tracking
Real-time stock visibility across hundreds of components. System alerts when parts running low for upcoming builds.
Scalable manufacturing process
Kit multiple products simultaneously without confusion. Same workflow scales from prototypes to production runs.
Typical use cases
- • Assembly kitting with multi-level BOMs
- • Spare parts storage and retrieval
- • Service parts kitting for field operations
- • Component storage for production lines
- • Quality-critical assembly operations
What success looks like
Zero-error kitting with scan confirmation
Reduced assembly time with verified complete kits
Better stock-out prevention for upcoming builds
Simpler training for new technicians
Higher storage density for components
What we'll ask in discovery
- • How many components/SKUs in typical BOMs?
- • What's the assembly accuracy requirement?
- • How many concurrent builds or products?
- • Where are parts currently stored?
- • What's the current kitting process?
- • Any integration with existing MRP/ERP systems?
Fastest next step
If you can share a SKU master (with stock on hand) plus outbound order history, we can quickly estimate bins required, storage coverage, aisle count, and robots/stations needed.
